take a gander at my teal beast, Ricer style :P
figured I would snap a pic of my car as it's been rolling the past couple days. I was at work Monday and found only 8 PSI in my front right tire, aired it up to 37 PSI and 6 hours later it was down to 20 PSI already 
So I put 2 stock wheels on so I could take the punctured tire to get it fixed, but I didn't have time to put the wheels back on until tonight.
And yes it is VERY VERY dirty because seems like every weekend it's either raining, or I don't have time to wash it, and it's impossible for me to wash it during the week.
*edit* hmm looks kinda lower in the back in that pic, but in reality the ground to fender clearance is about 1/2" lower in FRONT than in back with the stock wheels in front, and 16's in back.

Re: take a gander at my teal beast, Ricer style :P (smemts)
no way not me, the 16x7's and 205/45 tires fill the fenderwells soooo much better than puny 15x6 stockies. My stock wheels also have small-ish 195/50 tires on them.
Only thing I don't like is the 16's are more prone to rubbing. Lately I've been hearing a nasty scraping sound from the front right tire when I would turn right into a driveway. I also found a hole rubbed in my fenderliner, right there where the liner covers the metal seam under the fender (the part most people bang flat when installing a camber kit).
But I also found that my front right was about 1/4" lower than the left, so I adjusted my GC perches up a couple turns on the right side, hopefully that will cure my rubbing problems.

Car looks great man. I always thought your car was sleek before the wheels... and I usually don't like this particular style/combo as it just doesn't match on most setups. But for some reason I am just totally feelin it on your car. for a well-picked wheel.

the spots right below the driver side bumper light? That's dirt
But below my pass. side bumper light is a huge scraped area on the front lip where I came in a driveway at a bad angle and scraped it against a curb. Traffic was coming so I had no choice.
My friend and I are eventually going to repaint the whole front cap and the rear bumper.
